Who lost Texas?
On July 5 at 4 am the National Weather Service issued an urgent flood warning to people in the vicinity of Kerrville, Texas. Soon water levels were high. The Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in 45 minutes, fed by torrential rain. According to Kerr County Judge Rob Kelly, who lives near the river, "nobody saw this coming." (In Texas, "judge" is the equivalent of county executive.) Most people were asleep, including several hundred kids at youth camps in the hill country. As of this morning 82 people are confirmed dead and more than 40 are still missing.
After a disaster of such proportions, a culprit must be found. The New York Times hinted that it might be related to staffing shortages among people who would normally coordinate the NWS with local officials. Silly Times, how can that be right when they were fully staffed until last January? Remember, Trump ha sempre ragione. Someone must have been "engineering" the weather.
Here's Kandiss Taylor, who would like to join Musclebound Marge in Washington if she can convince people in the Georgia First (hi, all) that she's even dumber than Earl "Cruddy" Carter:
Blame and pray, it's their mantra, their program, their solution. Why are "they" doing this? To make Trump look bad, of course. Dead kids at a Christian camp are just collateral damage. Is there no limit to the globalist perfidy? They'll be poisoning wells next.
All the finest people are praying for Texas. The White House Faith Office issued a prayer order, specifying the psalm to be included so all believers are on the same page and even the same verse. This apparently works better. In Texas, where the legislature killed House Bill 13, which would have upgraded emergency alerts including sirens (sponsored by Republican Ken King), they're already praying their asses off. "Prayer works," asserted Greg Abbott. "So many of those prayers have been answered." He did not, however, rise up and walk. "All we know to do at this moment is pray," said Mike Johnson, who has a job where people used to do a lot more. Once you've decided that government can't solve any problems, there's not much left but mental masturbation. Here's actual Texan Chip Roy chipsplaining that the problem is too much government: "Maybe, just maybe, when you have nineteen federal bureaucrats that you have to talk to as the state of Texas to figure out the weather, maybe you need fewer bureaucrats." Look, I'm all for cutting Texas loose to deal with its own problems but are you sure that's what Texas wants? On June 10 Trump promised to get rid of FEMA after this hurricane season. It's already run by some martial arts instructor named Richardson who admitted he didn't know there is a hurricane season.
Natural disasters used to be the purview of the Department of Homeland Security but that was in the before-time. Now that it has concentration camps to oversee and children to deport, DHS has shifted to ass-covering. It issued (via Xitter) a lengthy description of all the things it did perfectly but those shiftless Texans were too busy with their Roman candles and their chili to pay attention, and anyway, the media lied about it as usual. And the system is "ancient" (blame Biden!). Now don't bother the Secretary, she's busy. She's conducting a survey on Instagram to find out which portrait should hang in the South Dakota State Capitol:
Trump wants it known that he has already signed the disaster declaration, for what it's worth, and may work a visit to Texas into his packed schedule. Here's what he's already dealing with:
Ruling on the charges against fellow thug Jair Bolsonaro (money laundering, criminal conspiracy, attempted coup, the usual): "He is not guilty of anything except having fought for THE PEOPLE." Nice country you got here, Brazil, be a shame if a 900% tariff was to fall on it.
Attacking Elon Musk for threatening to start his own party and for issuing this ridiculous image of what appears to be a young Schwarzenegger on ketamine:
Helping Bibi Netanyahu celebrate his "victory" in Iran as he prepares for elections.
Lining up competitors for the mixed martial arts slobfest he wants to hold on the White House lawn, especially accused rapist Conor McGregor.
Launching the partnership of Trump Media and Newsmax, which will replace Fox News as Official State Media. (That Bret Baier has been getting a little uppity.)
Quietly rejoicing that the whole Jeffrey Epstein thing was just a mirage, no list, no list, you're the list. Who am I kidding, no doubt denouncing it all as WITCH HUNT! LIST WAS STOLLEN BY ERIC HOLDER!!!
Golf. Big golf.
I can't believe no one has blamed the Texas floods and the failed response on Zohran Mamdani. But it's only 2:35.
